Don't restrict air flow too much as bad thick white smoke will generate. See Creosote notes in Smoking Techniques Page. Think of BBQ Smoke as a Marinade, pick a wood to flavour your meats, see Wood Matrix Chart at bottom of Home Page.

34 Make your own Liquid Smoke:Yellow Creosote is the main component of commercially available preparations of ‘Liquid Smoke’. It is used to add smokey flavour to meat and aid as a preservative, you can dip foods into a diluted bowl of it or simply use an atomizer to spray it on foods and salads. Make your own Liquid Smoke by adding a T piece to the outlet pipe of a Cold Smoke Generator like Smokai or Big Daddy. Dip the hose going into your Smoker so the T piece is at a low point, add a 1ft pipe to the bottom of the T piece and cap the end so you don't lose blow pressure. Condensation moisture and creosote will collect in the pipe. Remove the cap once in a while to drain the creosote into a can. Boil reduce the watery creosote to 50% of it's volume and you will have pure Liquid Smoke!

38 THE BOSS'S BRISKET METHOD- Trim excess fat off the Brisket.- Mix 2/3 cups MOIST MEAT BOMB with 4 cups water and shake in our logo 1ltr Protein Shaker.- Inject both sides of the Brisket until it can't take any more.- Shake a heavy coating of HOTnSMOKEY CAJUN Rub on both sides, then top it with GUNPOWDER. Do lean side first, then turn over fat side up and do same. Aaron Franklin says cook fat cap up so fat and juices marinate the meat. - Place in Smoker or BBQ, fatty layer on top.- Cook at 105C/220F or higher, for 10-12hrs. For an Easy overnight cook so you can sleep through most of the 12hrs, smoke for 5-6hrs till 74C/165F internal temp, then wrap in Butcher Paper and put in Kitchen oven at 110C for 12-16hrs until 96C/205F reached. When you wake up, adjust oven temp - or + to reach eating deadline.- At 74C/165F internal temp, wrap in single layer of Butcher Paper and put back in Smoker to continue smoking through the breathable paper, this breaks the 2hr Stall and cranks up the internal temp while keeping the Bark dry.- Take out when all Probes reach min 96C/205F, wrap in more Butcher Paper and towel and Rest for 1hr, or just turn off cooker and leave the meat in there for an hr.PELLET COOKER METHOD: Use Lumberjack Competition Pellets or similar, combined with a Cold Smoking device like our Wedgie or Smoking Barrel to add extra flavour and Smoke Ring.CHARCOAL METHOD: Smolder an Apple Chunk & Australian Oak Chunk next to our LownSlow Ironbark, Gidgee or Mallee Root Lump Charcoal, replace Wood Chunks every 2 hrs.GAS BBQ METHOD: Sit 1 or 2 Wood Chunks on a separate Burner, or wedged between gas a burner & BBQ wall, or on gas diffuser plate or lava rocks.

Just sprinkle it on top of steaks, chops, schnitzels etc and leave it for 10 mins, then cook..

44 TEXAS STICK FIRE OR CHARCOAL IN OFFSET BBQ SMOKER ?Texans love using wood fire in their big Offset Smokers, but this only works well in a very large heavy iron smoker, smaller Offsets have the wood fire too close to the food chamber making it very difficult to manage a good balance of smoke and heat, no smoke in fire!

OUR ANSWER:- - Make a large mound of our rectangular shaped chunky GIDGEE lump charcoal or if you have a grate with small holes use our hot IRONBARK as it is very hot but in smaller pieces.- Start the base of the mound with a hot air gun like our FIRE ROD.- Place a couple APPLE LOGS next to the mound so they smolder but not catch fire. ​- When Cooking temp gets to 220F/104C, restrict the air by reducing the opening of the air vents, this will slow the mound to go for 10hrs. * Charcoal is your heat, wood is your 'smoke marinade'. Regulate your heat by controlling the airflow. More air = more heat.

See David from BIG D'S BBQ TEAM explain how to use Gidgee Charcoal and Apple Logs instead of a Texas Stick Fire:

45 How to turn cheap Woolworths Beef Snags into Gourmet SausagesThe 2 kg pack of thin skinless Beef Sausages from Woolworths also contain Lamb, which enables them to easily absorb our sweet flavoursome air dried Cherry Wood smoke.- Place a small pile of IRONBARK Charcoal against the left wall of your Smoker.- Start the base of the coal mound with a heat gun or our FIRE ROD in 1 minute.- Place a CHERRY CHUNK on each side of the mound to smolder as a 'smoke marinade' to your sausages.

- Slice thin Pork Shoulder schnitzels.- Marinate/Brine schnitzels overnight in MOIST MEAT BOMB & water to hydrate, tenderize and flavour the meat. - Take out of Marinade/Brine and shake FAJITA SEASONING on both sides of each slice, it contains Papaya fruit extract, for a natural enzyme meat tenderizer, it also acts as a digestive enzyme for your gut. It also contains kōji, which is a food fungus used in Japan to ferment soybeans for making soy sauce. The combination of Papaya enzyme with Japanese kōji bacteria fungus, creates a super natural meat tenderizer.- Stack meats over hole.- At half high, stick a non slip BAMBOO SKEWER through to the potato and snap off top of skewer, for initial support.- Horizontally pierce meat stack with skewers level to top of pan so they rest on shoulder of tin to balance Tower.- Continue to stack meats to full height. - Place strips of meat on cross support skewers to further stabilize Tower.- Carve a fresh Pineapple and place a big chunk on top. Pineapple acts as a tenderizer and digestive enzyme for your gut.- Spear a non slip BAMBOO SKEWER through pineapple all the way down into the potato.- Skewer smaller pineapple chunks on sides at a 45 degree angle downwards, for extra structural stability.

41 SHOULD YOU INJECT A BEEF BRISKET?No need to inject and moisten a heavily marbled Brisket like Wagyu, as the buttery fat lines self baste the meat.

Rubbed with Gunpowder Rub and smoked overnight in Pit Boss Pellet cooker with Lumberjack MHC Pellets. No need to inject the marbled meat. Wrapped in Pink Butcher Paper T 71C/160F then taken to 96C/205F, and rested with a 2nd wrap of Pink Butcher Paper for 2hrs.Tasted great, but surprisingly the Family prefers the standard 2+ Marble Brisket that we inject with MOIST MEAT BOMB and BRISKET MOP, as the Wagyu was too rich to eat too much of ($rich pun intended).
